Heys came from behind to win 5-2 at Beechfield United in today's pre-season friendly.
The Salford side have been something of a bogey team over recent years for Jon Lyons's side and the Heys boss must have feared the worst when his side trailed 2-0 at half time.
Dalton McLaughlin then reduced the arrears before Chris Quirk levelled matters with a low finish.
Declan O'Shea then put Heys in front before Quirk added his second.
Jamie Baguley then completed the win with Heys fifth seven minutes from time.
